Neither a recommendation for, or comments against, Ryobi tools.

If you got them, you know what they are worth and build quality. If you
don't have any, the new yellow One+ series are decent and have Li-Ion
batteries that fit the older blue one Ryobi cordless stuff.

Batteries are robust and with the Li-Ion chemistry provide decent service.

Just passing along that Home Depot has one of their special going
through the first week or so of June (they do this once or twice a year)

Deal: Two, 3.0Ah batteries with power level indicator, a charger, and
carry all case that will hold the aforementioned plus a couple of the
cordless tools. You get this AND choice of one free bare tool for $99

Pretty decent selection of bare tools as well. I really like their
reciprocal saw for use in the yard for trimming off dead limbs, scrub
brush, etc. Picked up a leaf blower today which probably won't blow
many leaves off the lawn, but SWMBO is overjoyed at the manner in which
it rids the deck of maple seeds and grass trimming off the sidewalk and
driveway.

The bare tools offered run anywhere from $30 to $80. A decent deal if
you can use the batteries or tools

You say limp green I say yeller. . . Easy to distinguish from "Bah

magnificence!

Switched to Li-Ion a couple of years back (4 ?).

Coulda, shoulda probably mentioned that. Ahead of you there. Picked up
some of those blades (Diablo ? brand) and they are great.

That reciprocal saw is "dedicated" for yard work and it, alone, makes
this deal a winner if you need something like that and don't already
have one. Two solid batteries, a charger and reciprocal saw for $99

And way tooooooooo expensive.

You really don't need more than a regular demo blade to trim bushes but
the blade made to do this is better.
This one does not sting so much.

Whimper ... yes, and that price is good, and I need to replace the
batteries I have and if they'll throw in a nailer, well the retirement
money is just sitting there.

Click on the link below the price and when the page refreshes you should
see a list of all the tools included in the deal. Not sure that there's
a nailer though.

or

https://tinyurl.com/y5tnb4kd

That page shows it at $18+. I didn't pay that much for the whole set.

Not saying anything about the Lee Valley blade, never used it, but the
Milwaukee pruning blade works great. Both are over priced on the sites
imo. $20 bucks for a sawzall blade seems much.

Amazon has 5 of them for $13:

The Diablo Pruning blade is a hair under $12 per five pack at the BORG.
Never tried the Milwaukee version as there was no need. I'm only on my
2nd Diablo blade after three seasons!
